A doctor may ring you to discuss your problem before attending, and we may arrange for our Urgent Care Practitioner to visit you.
Prescriptions
We can send prescriptions directly to a nominated pharmacy. Please speak to one of our Reception staff to advise us of your choice.

EPS allows prescribes to send prescriptions electronically to a pharmacy of the patient’s choice. This is called a nominated pharmacy. Please speak with your pharmacist to use this service.
We currently regularly send prescriptions to:
- Llay Pharmacy, Vittoria Healthcare Ltd
- Gresford Pharmacy, Vittoria Healthcare Ltd
- Rossett Pharmacy, Chester Road, Rossett
To order a repeat prescription, you can:
- By using the NHS Wales App
- Via the Online Klinik system

- Request in person by visiting one of our surgeries. Requests can also be put through the letterboxes when we are closed
